The Unruly Princess: Regent, please hug me

Chapter 992 Seeing

When the sky was completely dark in the evening, the three of them came back exhausted. After all, Ning Junliang was the king of Xianyi County, and he seldom worked. Going to the mine this time really killed him.He casually ate a few mouthfuls and went back to his room to sleep. Chi Mubai was also exhausted and didn't say a word.And Qi Zhao finally insisted on eating up all the things Shen Qiqi made and then went back to rest after tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, while Chi Mubai sat silently after eating, Shen Qiqi also knew that it was too tiring for the sake.

"Do you think I'm too tired, so I don't talk?" Chi Mubai saw that Shen Qiqi was preparing something for bed, so he opened his mouth. His complexion didn't look good, and he always smiled slightly in the past The face was covered with dark clouds at the moment.

"Brother Mubai, I am really ashamed of you. As the king of a country, you have to go to the mines to work for me. I am really sorry. You must be very tired. I have prepared things, and you can Going to bed." Shen Qiqi even prepared the footwashing water for eating wooden planks, but she didn't know what to do to maintain Mubai, she could only do whatever came to her mind, but Chi Mubai shook her head, with a look in her eyes What reveals is not exhaustion, but helplessness and sadness.

"No, Huanyan, it's just the two of us at this time. I want to tell you that what I feel is not exhaustion, but hatred for myself. If I could have paid more attention at that time, I would have stopped the emperor and queen from doing things to Cheng Xiaoxiao. If something like that happened, maybe Cheng Xiao wouldn’t have created such a quarry. I went down to the mine today and saw those miners working so hard. Their faces were all white, and many of them coughed a lot. They It is said that they were deceived by Changsun Shan, and their family members were also under surveillance. They could only work here. I didn’t expect that such a place existed in Qinglan Kingdom. I thought I managed it well when I was the regent. It’s a joke now. What’s even more ridiculous is that I saw them in so much pain but couldn’t save them. I dared not let them know my identity. They all sympathized with me, thinking that I was cheated by Changsun Shan again. I came here, they all said that I am so young and strong, I should find a way to escape and take my family away, many of them gave me food today, hoping that I can maintain my strength, I don’t know when I eat those steamed buns What is it like. So I don't think that the food you make is not delicious, it's just that I ate more than a dozen steamed buns today and I'm not hungry at all."

Chi Mubai's face was full of wry smiles, and she patted her knees filled with hatred and dissatisfaction with herself, and what she said was entirely from her heart, and she didn't know how to comfort Chi Mubai.

"Those miners are willing to work here. It's not because of Cheng Xiao's high wages, but because their family members are being watched by Changsun Shan?" Shen Qiqi tilted her head slightly, even the family members saw Chi Mubai's painful expression, she Thinking of the reason why Chi Mubai couldn't use the army to rescue those miners.

"Yes, it is said that when Changsun Shan went to a certain place, he recruited people from the whole village. At the beginning, he said it was very good. I heard that everyone has something to do, and it is very easy. But here. The men were left behind. Sent to work in the quarry, as for the women and children, they were placed under house arrest in a certain place and monitored, with their wives and children as hostages, how could those miners escape? Even if they had no wages, they would not escape.”

Chi Mubai originally wanted to enter the quarry by himself, and after seeing the terrain clearly, he could even mobilize the army to destroy the quarry and rescue all the miners, but he proposed in a tentative tone that after he escaped, he would ask the government to help him. People came to rescue them, and all the miners strongly opposed it, because they didn't know where their family members were imprisoned. If the quarry was destroyed rashly, even if they were rescued, their family members would inevitably die. They would rather die than May the family suffer, so they also warned Bai at the end of the period. If he really escapes, he will take his family with him.Don't implicate them, they would rather sacrifice themselves than let their family sacrifice for them.

"The so-called mouse-thrower. Those miners hated Cheng Xiao and Changsun Shan, especially Changsun Shan. It is said that Cheng Xiao handed over wages to Changsun Shan, and Changsun Shan withheld part of it and handed it over to the miners' families. This situation is still a problem." The older miners told me that today I got along well with them. I didn’t feel particularly tired when I used my internal energy to work. I also worked for several people who seemed to be in poor health. They are very talkative people, and I learned a lot from them."

Chi Mubai's depression is not because of hard work, but seeing those miners feel very sad. These are the people of Qinglan Kingdom. They should have lived a leisurely life in their own village, instead of coming here to see each other. Hard work every day.

"Chuqing, I feel that I am useless and failed to protect my own people." Chi Mubai's eyes were full of self-blame and guilt, Shen Qiqi comforted him softly, and changed the subject to talk about something unrelated to Chi Mubai The most important thing, Chi Mubai relaxed slowly in Shen Qiqi's gentle voice, and soon fell asleep.

Shen Qiqi asked Chi Mubai to sleep on the bed and covered her with a quilt. She saw a familiar black figure flashing past the window. He looked at Chi Mubai and put his hand under Chi Mubai's nose to check his breathing. Even, falling into a deep sleep, he and she walked to the door, gently opened the door, and then quickly closed the door, the black shadow outside the room was Qi Zhao.

"Why haven't you rested yet?" Shen Qiqi felt that it must be very tiring, he followed the song Baihe Ning Junliang to do live work for a day, and just now Chi Mubai didn't intend to mention that Ning Junliang was a bit lazy, Qi Zhao did all his work, Qi Zhao should be in a deep sleep so why did he appear here?Moreover, she could see that Qi Zhao's movements were extremely careful, obviously he had to avoid Cheng Xiao who lived in the middle of the courtyard, and Cheng Xiao let them live on both sides of the courtyard just to monitor them.

"Before Cheng Xiao came back, I have something to tell you. I lost contact with Zhang Yao. I don't know where he is at this time. I also asked the king of the county, and the king of the county also said that he had nothing to do with Zhang Yao. Contact, I don’t know if he came to Shuilan City and lost contact, or he didn’t come to Shuilan City at all, he carried the antidote that the people of Shuilan City needed, would he be stopped halfway?”

Qi Zhao was very anxious, he had been paying attention to Zhang Yao's news these days, but there was no news, and he had no choice but to tell Shen Qiqi.

"When was the last time you contacted him?" Qi Zhao thought for a while, and it was three days ago.Shen Qiqi thought about it in her heart, calculated the distance and Zhang Yao's ability, he should have arrived in Shuilan City three days ago, and when he suddenly pulled her out, he pushed her back to her and Chi Mubai's room, He whispered in Shen Qiqi's ear: "Cheng Xiao is back, go in quickly."
